I would love to tell you, however, i am not the one who launched it, nor i am the one who made that press release.
You will have to consult all the data provided in the press release. If it is not there, i cant help you.
No idea where that press release is mate
Yeah the numbers aren’t nearly that impressive with unknown launch values.
If it was done from a standstill that would be insanity.
But if launched at 2.5 Mach it’s much less impressive.
okay tbf i actually just double checked it and it actually accomplishes it in 92 seconds not 90, so not as good as meteor but still in the realm if given more speed/altitude
Yes so far that info is a nothingburger
Like the entire UK armed forces at the moment.
I’d probably guess something like Mach 1-1.5 launch speed and something around 20-30k ft
Ahh yeah the famous mach 2.5 Eurofighter haha. Typical launch conditions are mach 0.9 and mach 1.5 Assuming launch at 1.5 mach. Gives it better kinematics than a Fakour 90. If the requirement to match those figures was going mach 2.5 at 15km that should point to you how fast the missile is.
It really isn’t.

So meteor basically r-37m but much smaller.
And much better against maneuvering targets while it’s still burning, after it’s done burn ofc worse than 37m
That was the conclusion I came to, pretty similar to R-37M but lighter and smaller thanks to the Ramjet.

Did it say that?
ah yes the jet with a mach 2.35 top speed will launch a missile at mach 2.5

No but neither did it state mach 2.5 and 15km altitude. Again typical launch conditions are high sub sonic and mid supersonic. Typhoon is designed for that mach 1.5 fighting up at FL400. Its whole design revolves around it.
So we’ve got with the way a Typhoon would typically employ a Meteor, so FL400 and Mach 1.5 this isn’t a leap, it isn’t over promising.

Yes but we still don’t know.
What kind of G capability does it have?
Can still be defeated in game by just flying low to the ground.
All fox 3s should be much less affected by multipath than they currently are.
Heck basically anything with an inverse monopulse seekerhead has a min alt of below 60m which is currently the multipath altitude of missiles in game, so aim 7m on.
Who knows probably based on fin size around the 30-35G mark.
Strictly speaking MP can only protect you at 20-40m over SL. Too low and missile hits the ground in close proximity, above 40m and you get hit by the proxy fuse anyway.

Yes but for now you have to loft them so weirdly to get them to connect.
AMRAAM doesn’t have the pull to be as effective top down sadly.
Being 90 degrees to the MP jet will hit but often not kill.
Yet so many missiles can be evaded with so little effort.
Notching is also super easy.
Right lets add nothing then haha jesus wept.

Mount Meteor on a Harrier then Matrix would think it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread

ASRAAM would be a lot more dangerous in war thunder
